Disney Watch List for 90s Kids

I couldn't help myself.  This makes middle and high school me so happy.  I hopped into my time machine and took it ALLLLLL the way back.  This? Is the Ultimate Disney Watch list for 90s kids.

Ok y'all.  Lace up your Doc Martens, pull on your floral babydoll dress……we're going back in time.  The 90s are back.  Fashion, music, yes…….some of us are officially old enough to have loved the 90s the first time around and…….are having a bit of deju vu (in the best possible way).

The 90s was an amazing time for the best movies and entertainment, and Disney was NO EXCEPTION (in fact, 1989 to 1999 is often referred to as the Disney Renaissance…….when they brought back amazing blockbuster animation features and some super fun live action films like the Little Mermaid and a ton of fairy tale classics)

Ultimate Disney Watch List for 90s kids

Love Disney Plus Watchlists?  This? Is the Ultimate Disney Watch list for 90s kids.....and every film listed is on Disney+ now!

<You can download the watchlist by entering your email address here >

This list? My top 19 picks for diving into the best 90s movies on the Disney+ streaming service.  I can't wait to hear if YOUR favorite 90s Disney movie is included!

      1. Aladdin: Now, I'm talking ANIMATED Aladdin.  Yes, I also love the live action Aladdin for a million reasons….but the animated version is a CLASSIC.  You'll remember how much you love Robin Williams within the first 20 minutes, what a genius.
      2. Home Alone: Ok, I know I also put this on my Disney+ Christmas Movie Watchlist….but I'm going to argue it's a year round gem.  Please note the amazing home decor, it's 90s CLASSIC style….and Macaulay Culkin? An icon.
      3. The Rocketeer: This is a HIGHLY underrated 90s movie.  I forgot how much I loved it until we watched it recently.  If you've got comic book loving kids, it's a great one.  Yes, there is an animated version on Disney Junior….but this? IS THE ORIGINAL.  It tells the story of a stuntman who discovers a jetpack that lets him fly without an airplane.
      4. Beauty and the Beast: Animated.  Not Beauty and the Beast live action (although I love that as well).  I'm sure you've watched this a million times, but it's one of the best examples of the killer animated films Disney released in the 90s.  Watch it again.  And again.
      5. The Sandlot: A cult following.  The Sandlot has a EPIC fan base and it's easy to see why. This coming of age story is funny, kid appropriate, and tells the story of boys vs the BEAST (when they accidentally hit a baseball into the neighboring backyard).
      6. A Goofy Movie: It wouldn't be the Ultimate Disney Watch List for 90s kids without this gem (we love Powerline right)? This adorable animated classic features Goofy and Max and shares an epic summer trip that Goofy and Max take together (complete with Max's teenage angst and Goofy's antics).
      7. Flubber: Another Robin Williams gem. This silly movie is an updated remake of the Absent Minded Professor and Lydia LOVED it.  In the film, the main character invents “flying rubber” and chaos reigns.
      8. Mulan: Yet again, animated.  The live action Mulan is also a great film, but that is very much NOT a 90s release.  We just rewatched this one last night, and I forgot how great the music is.
      9. Toy Story 2 (and 1): I still can't believe this Disney franchise has been around for this long.  We recently rewatched all of the Toy Story films in order and I forgot how much I loved the first two!  Your kids have probably seen Toy Story 4…..but be sure to take it all the way back to these originals with best friends Woody and Buzz Lightyear.
      10. 10 Things I Hate About You: This film makes the Ultimate Disney Watch List for 90s kids just barely (it was released in 1999).  But come on, it's a CLASSIC.  This was Julia Stiles' and Heath Ledger's breakout role and it has some EPIC 90s fashion.  It's a perfect romantic comedy.
      11. The Nightmare Before Christmas: Is it a Christmas movie? A Halloween movie? In our house it's a year round must watch.  Yes, this movie is a little spooky, but Lydia LOVES IT  (Jack Skellington is one of her favorite characters) and Tim Burton is a genius.
      12. The Lion King: Yet again, ANIMATED original film not live action Lion King.  This is in my top 5 animated films and a total Disney classic.  Period.  The music? The story.  If you haven't watched the original Lion King in a minute, push this to the top of your list….this is a great time to watch it again!
      13. Newsies: Can you believe Robbie had never seen this gem? Another super underrated 90s movie, this musical tells the story of the Newsboys Strike in 1899, and stars…..Christian Bale.
      14. Sister Act: Whoopie Goldberg at her finest.  Singing nuns, a witness protection program.  This is an EPIC 90s classic.  I forgot how funny it was until I rewatched recently!
      15. Cool Runnings: If you haven't watched this one since the 90s…..now is the time (another one that Robbie had never seen).  This is the true story of Jamaica's bobsled team at the Winter Olympics (and is John Candy's last film).  I forgot how great the movie is, and loved watching it again!
      16. Hercules: The muses NEED THEIR OWN MOVIE.  I said it.  This is another super underrated classic movie.  From the amazing Muses to Megara being a……girl power icon, I love it.  The music is also awesome.
      17. Hocus Pocus: You know I love this film (hello, remember this Halloween costume?) This classic story about the Sanderson sisters (including Bette Midler), witches, a curse, and Salem on Halloween is the BEST.  Another I'd argue is a year round gem.
      18. The Parent Trap: Now this is not the original Parent Trap, but it does star baby Lindsay Lohan and Lydia loved comparing it with the original.  We had a blast doing a marathon of both films and now Lydia keeps begging to go to summer camp!  This one is a modern classic.
      19. Muppets Treasure Island: In my opinion, the least watched Muppet Movie. Tim Curry is in it, and it's perfect for Kermit and Miss Piggy lovers.

Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
